Logan Dayne<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was once a radical idea that those who enforce laws should not be the ones to also make laws. It was one of the ideas upon which the government of the United States was founded and all other state and local governments employ. As California, Governor Gavin Newsom, hastens this dissolution of the separation of powers by implementing COVID-19 vaccination mandates without consideration to personal beliefs or private business, he is being met with resistance by local Catholic dioceses across the state.\u00a0 Catholic dioceses across the state are allowing students attending parochial schools to keep to their religious beliefs and abstain from the COVID vaccine in resistance to Newsom\u2019s mandate that all students must be vaccinated regardless of belief. Newsom\u2019s demands, made in October of this year, are being cited as non-applicable. As Kevin Eckery,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.voiceofsandiego.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Vaccine_Memo_JG_catholic-church.pdf\"> from the San Diego diocese stated<\/a>, \u201c The list of required vaccinations can be expanded by the Governor and State (sic) health authorities, but if the list is expanded without legislative approval, the law requires that any mandate include a medical exemption and a personal belief exemption.\u201d In other words, Newsom alone, in his executive role, cannot make decrees without further approval from the legislature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this is not to say that the Catholic dioceses and the parochial schools are \u201canti-vax\u201d. The schools themselves promote healthy COVID safety measures for the benefit of their staff, parents, and most importantly attending students. However, young children are statistically the least vulnerable and most resilient to the virus. As stated by the American Academy of Pediatrics, \u201cIt appears that severe illness due to COVID-19 is uncommon among children\u201d. The shutting down of schools resulting in a lack of social interaction and education are proving to be dangerous to students. Such things result in higher rate of anxiety and depression, both of which are contributing causes of suicide. Parents have a \u201csacred-right\u201d to protect and rear their children, which includes making health decisions for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Projection is unlikely that the legislature will vote to add the COVID-19 vaccine to the list of mandatory vaccines. This would make Newsom unlikely to get his way. Newsom\u2019s office made a statement saying, \u201cVaccines are how we end this <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pandemic, and we\u2019re treating the COVID-19 vaccine just like other vaccines that students are required to get to go to school,\u201d a statement wholly untrue as statements like \u201cIf you\u2019re vaccinated, you won\u2019t get COVID-19\u201d, a statement from President Biden, has been labeled \u201cmisinformation\u201d and even removed from some sites.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Photo Cred: AP Photo\/Lenny Ignelzi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by T.
